When I was coming up with my Thanksgiving menu the first thing that I started on was an appetizer. I was planning the menu shortly after making the hot cheesy mushroom dip so dips were on my mind and on a whim I thought; Why not a cheesy pumpkin dip? A quick search on the web showed that not only had it been done before, but that it was quite common! This pumpkin dip is pretty simple, consisting of pumpkin puree, cream cheese, sugar and pumpkin pie spices. This pumpkin dip kind of reminds me of a pumpkin cheesecake and as a gingersnap crust is wonderful on a pumpkin cheesecake I was immediately thinking about serving the dip with gingersnap cookies. If you want to keep it a bit healthier, sliced apples also work great.

kevin! you're back! you & your funky recipes were missed my friend.and what better way to come back than with a sweet version of pumpkin dip. you missed my creamsicle cheesecake...you have to try it out, seriously i know you'll love it.

such a great idea Kevin and I love the fact that you've used the pumpkin for the bowl... i've seen this done with soups before but never with dips so I can now 'borrow' this from you and show it on my blog in the UK and wow everyone! It's halloween coming up soon and there are plenty of pumpkins around! Thanks again for a great blog x

I just made this and it's delicious! May I suggest, though, that it turns out better if you first process the cream cheese till very smooth, them cream in the sugar, then add the other ingredients. Also, if you want to reduce carbs or are out of brown sugar, you can substitute 1 C Splenda plus 2 T blackstrap molasses.

I came to realize that my meals were boring and that I had been eating the same few dishes over and over again for years. It was time for a change! I now spend my free time searching for, creating and trying tasty new recipes in my closet sized kitchen.
